“Lexy did a great job with my dogs! My dogs usually stay with family when we are out of town, so I was nervous leaving them, but Lexy did a great job keeping us updated with how the dogs were doing and our dogs did great! She even did little things like bringing our mail and packages in for us! We plan to use Lexy again!”
“Amanda is absolutely amazing and my dogs have fallen in love with her. She spends time with them and plays with them and sends me regular updates for each visit. Highly recommended.”
About: There was never a time a lived without dogs, I grew up taking care of my beloved furry friends and l've taken care of pets for family and friends since I was little. I have experience taking care of elder dogs such as my Maisy and Bell, helping them in walking and eating towards the end of their lives, and I have also taken care of younger dogs like my dog hoss. My love and care for animals has only grown as I have. I am currently a student at UND so I do have classes weekdays but I have plenty of time to take care of your pets most days and weekends. My schedule is flexible. I know that you know your pet best and I can follow any instructions on how to keep your furry friends happy. I can make sure they have fresh water and good exercise along with the perfect amount of food based on their schedules. I will care for your four-legged friends with care and respect.
“Jaedyn was great with my dogs, Charlie and Lily! She was able to let them out while I was out of town for a few days. She sent so many cute pictures of them during her visit, which I loved! I will definitely be using Jaedyn again when I travel for work.”
About: I have many dogs in my family and have two of my own. I watch their dogs when needed and have helped my aunt with her doggy daycare and dog grooming business. I love all dogs! I am a student in college and work a part time job. I have a one small dog of my own. I usually work 1 12 hr shift a week, so I wouldn’t take dogs those days, but the other days I am home in between school and I also have some days where I don’t have school at all. I can talk more about my schedule to fit the needs of your pup! I have a one, playful pup. I am a smoke free, kid free home. I do not have a cat or any caged animal. I live in an apartment, but there is plenty of grass outside to walk and play!
“Madi did amazing with our pups! We had to book super last minute and she went above and beyond with them during our time away. She made us feel so at ease being such a long way away from home. ❤️”
About: I have had multiple animals under my care from dogs and cats to raccoons and squirrels! I have been in animal care of different aspects for my entire adult life. I want to have flexibility, gain more experience, all while getting my degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I am currently working part time and doing school online! I am very flexible with care schedules but am most available in the evenings after 4pm. Depending on the day, I could do different times but it would need to be discussed since I don’t have the same schedule every week. My cat is very friendly with humans but he is very territorial over his home with other animals and I don’t feel comfortable having other pets in my home at this time. With your fur babies, I want to try and keep them in their routine in your home as much as possible to ease possible stress with separation from you. Whether that means play time, training/mentally stimulating activities, or just tv on the couch, Im here for it! I am also willing to take your dogs for walks around your neighborhood, at a park, etc. i would love to discuss what your dogs comfortable with and loves!
About: I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs. I have a 3.5 year old pit bull mix who is full of love and energy. We have completed 4 obedience classes and she even has a few AKC trick titles! I have also taken classes to train my own (future) service dog and worked with dog behaviorists. I am very familiar with reactive dogs (my pup is on her own reactive journey!) and am comfortable helping dogs work through that in walks and muzzling if needed. I also have experience with special needs dogs including blind and dogs with amputations. I am happy to make any accommodations your pup needs! All dogs are good dogs!!! I am happy to bath, brush, ear care, and teeth cleaning if wanted for an extra fee. Happy to provide references as well if requested! I hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am happy to come by for as many walks as needed during the day! I can be very flexible and am happy to set up a regular schedule if wanted! I own my own business from home so if I stay in your home, the pets are not left alone for more than a few hours at a time if I run errands or have an event. Because I own my business, I am also able to accept same day booking and help out in a pinch if needed! I am very flexible and willing to enforce any rules you might have for your pet. My dog sleeps in bed with me and your dog is more than welcome to do the same if they are allowed! I can take pups out for as many walks and potty breaks as needed and we will have lots of play time to build a relationship (I believe that is the most important part of caring for animals!)
About: Hi! I’m Dominique, a proud pet mom to two dogs—Luna (a sweet, sassy Chihuahua) and Shadow (a gentle poodle mix)—plus my chill cat, Jackson. I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. Whether your pet needs snuggles, calm energy, medication, or a peaceful place to stay, I provide a safe and loving home environment where they can feel secure and happy. Why Book With Me? Clean, pet-friendly home with two dog-friendly dogs and one mellow cat Experienced with small breeds, seniors, and pets needing special care Regular updates, photos, and communication Flexible availability and last-minute bookings welcomed Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I already care for my own pets every day—Luna, my chihuahua; Shadow, my poodle mix; and Jackson, my cat. I work a few days a week, so on my days off, I’m home and fully available to focus on caring for other pets. I use that time to give dogs walks, playtime, attention, and a calm, safe space. I also offer overnight boarding, which fits well with my schedule since I’m home in the evenings and nights. My routine is structured, and I make sure every pet in my care gets the time, love, and attention they need. In my home, pets get a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they’re treated like part of the family. I have two friendly dogs, Luna and Shadow, and a relaxed cat, Jackson. I always do slow introductions to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine exactly—feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, and playtime. Whether they need cuddle time, quiet space, or exercise, I adjust to their needs. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
About: I grew up with cats and neighborhood dogs, and animals were always a part of my family. Now I have two dogs of my own: a 9-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab and a 1-year-old Basset Hound. I have experience with all ages, from puppies to grown-ups. I love dogs, but I'm also happy to do drop-ins for cats. I’m currently working part time where I schedule my own hours so I can be available whenever you need! Come fall, I will be back in my teaching position so my hours will be limited to evenings! When I care for your pets in your home, you can count on me to be reliable and accountable every single time. I'll make sure to be super attentive to your pet's needs and always follow their routines, as well as any specific procedures or rules you have in place. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Forks
Rayna was excellent! She left great detailed notes and multiple pictures after each of her drop- ins. She took great care of our senior dog’s needs and also went above and beyond with spending extra time just keeping him company. We will definitely request Rayna as a sitter for our dog again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Grand Forks is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 93 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Grand Forks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grand Forks. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
